Famous quotes containing the words boy and/or land:
“The boy stood on the burning deck,
Whence all but he had fled;
The flame that lit the battles wreck,
Shone round him oer the dead.
Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
As born to rule the storm;
A creature of heroic blood,
A proud though childlike form.”
—Felicia Dorothea Hemans (17831835)
“Every time we get near the land you get that look on your face. When a man goes to sea, he ought to give up thinking about things on shore. Land dont want him no more. Ive had me share of things go wrong and all come from the land. Now Im through with the land and the lands through with me.”
—Dudley Nichols (18951960)
